It having been announced that some matters relative to documents written by the convict Muller prior to hi 4 exe cution would be brought beforo the Court of Aldermen held this day, the Court was crowded to excess. At 1 o'clock the Lord Mayor took the chair, and some routine business having been transacted, Mr Alderman DARIN rose and said—My Lord Mayor, in handing in the report of the gaols of the City the Sheriffs are desirous of informing your lordship and the Court, that on Sunday evening the governor of Newgate handed to them a paper, written by the late unhappy convict Frans Muller, containing a long statement connected with the crime for which he suffered. It was carefully read over and considered by the Sheriffs, and contained much which has been already published in the newspapers, and having for its oljcct the accounting for his time on the Saturday night—the ciruinstances under which ho became possessed of the watch and chain and hat so as to appear consistent with his innocence, but does not contain any statement suggesting the guilt of any party. As a confession was afterwards made by Franz Muller, the Sheriffs sealed up the paper on Monday after noon, considering its publication would possibly answer no useful purpose, but in a matter of BO much importance they wish to avail themselves of the ad viee of their brother magistrates. The LORD MAYOR said he had received a communication from Dr Cappell, who had attended Muller in his last mo ments, in which the rev, gentleman said there were some documents which Muller had left behind, and which he (Dr Cappel) requested might be given up to him as his spiritual adviser. Alderman and Sheriff BESLEY said we have great respect for Dr Cappell, and we desire to thank him for his attention to this case, and we also desire that our thanks should be tendered to him publicly ; but so far from giving up any documents which had been intrusted to them, the sheriffs would pause before they gave up any documents which had came into their hands officially. Alderman WILSON said—Before we proceed with this, there is another thing which I wish to bring before the Court as this question of the confession is now before them. A gentleman who understand German, and who came from Cheltenham, and personally well known to me, made an application for admission to the gaol, on the ground that he could, from his knowledge of the language and the pro bably impel feet knowledge of English possessed by Muller, do some good to bringing him to a sense of his con dition, but the Sheriffs had, and so had he, as one of the visiting magistrates, declined to admit him, on • the ground that Muller was already attended by a German clergyman. That gentleman had come more than 120 miles for the express purpose, nod had been refused admit tance. But much to my astonishment I saw that another clergyman had been admitted, and his statements published in one of the public journals. That statement contained extravagant explanations of the interview with Muller, and it is my intention to move that this matter be referred to the Gaol Committee, to know by whose authority the gentle man to whom I have referred was admitted to the gaol. It is not nay intention to read the lengthy document to the court, which occupies nearly a column in the newspaper, but I shall refer it to the committee, who will see it in detail. [Alderman Wilson then quoted at great length from the letter in question 1 lie continued—This extract was sent to me by a party who firmly believed in Muller's guilt, but who, after reading the letter, said to me, "After such a statement, surely you will not think of executing Muller." 9ao persons out of every thousand were satisfied with the trial—the judges—one of whom was the senior pon the Bench expressed themselves fully satisfied, an d almost the whole world were convinced that justice was done and truth arrived at by the verdict. This statement has gone through the length and breadth of the land, and when the sheriffs refused to admit a clergyman — Mr Sheriff BESLEY-0n the ground that one was already attending him. Alderman WILSON—And was told that no one would be allowed to see him bmeep t the ordinary minister of the gaol and the German minister who seas attending at Muller's own desire, I think it was one of the greatest breaches of privileges that could have occurred; and I hope that, it this matter be referred to the Gaol Committee, we shall find out who admitted him. I therefore move that this document, and the whole of the papers connected with the matter, be referred, with the gaol returns presented by the Sheriffs, to the * Gaol Committee. Mr Alderman COPELAND satd that no one could hee;rate to second such a proposition, but he thought it right that the Court should know that, as visiting magistrate, he had consented to the admission of Dr Cappell, but only under the condition that Muller wished to see him. Vpon Muller being told what the Doctor desired, he expressed a most anxious wish to see him, and he (Alderman Copeland) felt it his duty to carry out the law, which he thought pointed out the duties of visiting magistrates that nu spiritual ad viser should be forced upon a culprit unless he wished to see him. Ile strictly followed the provisions of the act of Parliament, and cared nothing fur any statements that might be made as to his conduct as a magistrate, so long as he felt and knew that ho had the approval of his own con science, the way in which he did his duty. He therefore seconded the motion. Sheriff BESLEY said that in admitting persons to the gaol they did that which they believed to be right. As far as the Rev. Mr Battiscombe was concerned, who had written the letter in question, neither himself nor his brother she - riff had admitted him, and by the publication of that letter he had committed a breach of confidence, which, it was to be hoped, would be ascertained by the committee asked for. Numerous applications had been made by various clergymen, each of whom seemed to have some patent method of their own for evangelising criminals and finding out the secrets of crime. Ald er man and Sheriff DAKIN passed a high compliment to the kind, decorous, and considerate manner in which Dr Cappell had discharged his duties, and begged to say that the rev. gentleman accompanied Muller to the seaffuld by the culprit's own request. After some observations from Alderman SYDNEY, with regard to the execution having been fixed a week earlier than in pnvious cases, Sheriff DAIIN said the appointment of the day was after consultation with the Lord Chief Baron. The motion was carried. The name of the writer of the letter was stated as the Rev, H. Battiscombe, Blackheath, Kent, The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about the same price in Paris and London. By adviccs from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.511 per £1 stcrlin2. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 7-I , Ahs per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 237 to 233 per cent., and the premium on gold is 1171 to 118 per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the importation of goal from the United States. TYBURN TREE.—The dread "Tyburn Tree, ,' The fatal retreat for the unfortunate brave," was for a long time a fixed gallows of triangular form, and was called, in derision, the " three-legged mare," or the ",three-footed stool." Ilogarth, in his execution print of the " Idle Apprentice," gives a view of it, and enables us to judge, besides, of the motley and ruffianly crowd which gathered together on such occasions. The place of execution was subsequently a little further down the Edgeware road, opposite Upper Bryanston-street, where a gallows was erected on the morning of execution, consisting a two up • right posts and a crosembeam. For some years this gallows was kept in a house at the corner of the street just named; it had ' curious iron balconies' to the windows, from which the sheriffs used to witness executions. After the place of execution was changed to Newgate the gallows was bought by a carpenter, and made into stands for beer butts in the vaults of the Carpenters' Arms public-house, hard by.— Chambers's Journal. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 12. A handsome new paddlesteamer, named the Brittany, Capt. J. Good ridge, 525 tons burden and 250 horse power, built for the South Western Company by Messrs. Ash and Co., of Cubitt-town, and engined by Mr J. Stewart, of Blackwell, was officially tried at the measured mile in Stokes Bay on Friday. Immersed to her full seagoing capacity, and with very strong winds blowing, she realised an average speed of 14 knots, or 16 statute miles per hour ; after which she was taken for a run out into the Channel, ten miles beyond the Nab Light, during which an accelerated speed was ob tained of 17 miles per hour. The Brittany is built in several compartments, which adds to to her safety in case of any portion of the ship filling with water, and is supplied with all the latest improvements in steamship building. The Brittany will leave on her first voyage to the Channel Islands next 'Wednesday night, and will work that station generally with the Normandy and Southampton. The cora. pany's steam fleet now comprises ten vessels, severally en gaged in the service between this port and the Channel Islapids, Havre, 4q, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTED MteltDEß,—William JESSetller, an engineer, living in Wardour-street, Soho, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stabbing with a knife Leonard Arthur Blackburn, a blacksmith residing in Black Lion-court, Berwick-street, St, James's, at the City of London public house, No. 101, Berwick-street, St. James's. On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Inspector Draper said—The injured man is not able to attend, and the con stable in the case has a certificate from the Middlesex Hos pital. Edward Coningham, a boy employed as waiter at the City of London public-house, 104, Berwick-street, said— Yesterday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, the prisoner and Mr Blackburn and another man came into the house. Mr Blackburn was leaning against a partition and the other person named Orford was talking to the prisoner. The prisoner steed with his hand under his coat, and suddenly drew out a knife and stabbed Mr Blackburn twice, and tried to do it a third time, but my master jumped over the coun ter and prevented him, and took the knife from the prisoner. If my master had not done eo the prisoner would have stabbed Mr Blackburn again ? Mr Tyrwhitt—Did the prisoner say anything ? Witness—Yes. He said he was glad he had done it. Richard Delph, 64 C, here produced the knife, a pocket clasp knife, with a long and sharp blade. Mr Tyrwhitt—The prisoner actually stabled Blackburn twice ? Witness—Yes ; but made a third atterak,t. Prisoner—Did not Blackburn call me a humbug, and a butcher ? Witness—l did not hear him, Prisoner—That's all I wish to ask you. If you did not hear him I did. Charles Orford, of No. 3, Tyler's-court, Wardou r-street, said—Three of us were in the City of London p ublichouse together and talking. There was no quarreling. The pri soner put his hand under his coat, and then struck Black burn on the breast, saying at the same time, " Take that." I thought the blow at first was given with the fist, tut directly after Blackburn said, "I am stabbed," and at the same moment I saw blood spurt from the wound. I then put my hand on the wound to prevent the flow of blood-- Mr Tyrwhitt—Had anything been said by the prisoner to the injured man ? Witness—l do not think there had been any words be tween the prisoner and Blackburn at all. The landlord jumped over the counter and held the prisoner by the arms and took the knife from him. I kept-airy hand on the wound till a cab came, and I then went with Blackburn to the Middlesex Hospital, where I left him in charge of the medical-men. I was smothered with blood. Prisoner—You did not see the landlord take the knife from me. I gave it up to him. Blackburn called me a dog or devil, and something more. Richard Delph, 61 C—l was yesterday evening called to the City of London public-house, Berwick-street, and found Blackburn bleeding very much from a wound on the breast. I sent for assistance, and on another constable coming I took the prisoner and asked him why he had used the knife, and he replied, " I shall not toll you just now." The knife produced was given to Ice by the landlord of tha house. The injured man was taken to tho Middlesex Hos pital in a cab. Mr Tyrwhitt—Have you been to the hospital this mora ine Delph—l have. The injured man is unable to leave his bed. I received this certificate. The certificate was as fellows : "This is to certify that Leonard Arthur Blackburn was brought to this hospital last night suffering from an incised wound in the neck, and he is unable to leave his bed. " J. A. SMITH, House-surgeon. " Middlesex Hospital, Nov. 15." Mr Tyrwhitt—The prisoner will be remanded for a week on this very serious charge, as he will find it to be. The prisoner was then removed. While the charge was being taken against the prisoner last night he said, " Yes, I stabbed him, and I will do it again if he tells lies about me, and I will be hanged for him, like Muller.!' THAMES, NOVEL CHARGE OP BEING DRUNK AND INCAPABLE, — Emma Brown, a young woman, was brought before Mr Paget charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. Polioe-constable 104 E. said the prisoner was drunk and incapable last night. She came to the Bow station-house very much intoxicated, and said that she wanted a night's lodging, and was locked up. Mr Paget said the evidence of the police-constable was the strangest definition of being drunk and incapable he had over met with. The woman came to the station-house, said she was drunk, insisted on a night's lodging, and was locked up, The prisoner said she mistook the station-house for the Stepney Union House at Bromley. She got out of a rail. way carriage where the train stopped opposite the Stepney Union House, at Bromley, and walked into the station house instead of the workhouse. Mr Paget—You are a pauper. The prisoner—Yes, sir. I had leave of absence yester. day. Mr Paget—And got drunk. I don't believe you mistook the stationhouse for: the workhouse. They were mere than a mile apart. You are discharged. DEAD DRUNX.—John Fleet, a dock labourer, was charged with being insensibly drunk in the St. Katherine Dock yesterday afternoon. A dock watchman stated that he found th prisoner dead drunk on the brandy quay yesterday afte e rnoon, and he vomited a good deal of liquor from his stomach. The prisoner expressed great contrition, and said he had been in the service of the dock company many years, and was never drunk there before. Mr Paget—lt is a very dangerous thing indeed to be drunk in the dock. You were in danger of rolling into the basin and being drowned. You are discharged. DRUNK AND RIOTOUS.--Ann Hillstrom, an elderly mar ried woman, the wife of a steady, hard working bricklayer, was charged with being drunk and riotous in R3.tcliff-high way yesterday afternoon, Dannevill, 140 LI, said the prisoner had been drunk 50 times to his knowledge, and was incorrigible. The prisoner—l will become a teetotaller. I will,indeed. Mr Paget—You are fined 5s for being drunk. WESTMINSTER. S IN GULAR CASE OF F ELONY.—Jane Hill, an intel li g e n l oo king child, only 10 year s o f age , was placed in the felon's dock charged with stewing a sovereign. Mrs Ann Allwood, of 65, Milbank•street, Westminster, wife of a stone merchant, said that prisoner occasionally came to the house to nurse her infant. She was there on Saturday night, and in her presence prosecutrix placed a sovereign in a purse and put the latter in a drawer. On the next afternoon her husband went to the purse and found that the sovereign was gone. The prisoner had promised to come on the Sunday but failed to do so, and as she was suspected she was sent for yesterday, but the sovereign was not found. Mr Arnold—What evidence is there against the child ? Inspector Humphreys---Sh e i s found in possession o f half a sovereign which she gave to her father. Perh a p s y ou wou ld like to hear him. The little girl's father, journeyman tailor, working at a West-end house, said that his wife and children were in the habit of meeting him on Saturday night as he came home, and did so on Saturday. Directly she saw him she put a half-sovereign in his hand, told him she had p icked it up, and aske d him wha t it was. She s aid she had p icked it up near the Houses of Parliament. When he heard that his daughter was suspected of stealing a sovereign he took her to Mrs Allwood's, but she positively denied all know ledge of it. The child's mother was now called, and said that she went with the accused and her little brother to meet their e w nt ali sto le o t p t e in d g to o p ff ick it up, and saw what she through the Broad Sanctuary, and prisoner thinking one fireworks as they passed took to be a bright farthing , and brought it to her mother. notfwassther. A little boy, the brother, said he was present and saw his sister pick up the coin as described. Mr Arnold —I think the child is perfectly innocent, and qAuitbeosyp discharge her. If this had been a sovereign found instead of a half, which I have no doubt was picked_up, and there had been no witnesses of the fact, as there are, I am afraid circunstantial evidence would have fixed a strong impute on against the poor child. She was immediately discharged. rer at the Lord Mayor's Banquet. Destruction of the Confederate Barn Albe marle by a Torpedo Boat, We have already published the official report received by the last steamer from New York of the destruction of the Confederate ram Albemarle by a Federal torpedo boat. As the torpedo boat em ployed on this occasion, though of wooden con struction, was fitted with its torpedo battery on the same system as that which has been applied to the ironclad torpedo vessels, a number of which are being constructed by the Federal navy, two—the New Era and Stromboli, being already launched and ready for sea—the following particulars, fur• nished by the naval reporter of the New York 7ri bone, as to this recent and striking instance of the manner in which an enemy's ships, however formid able, are speedily and effectually disposed of by the new armament, will be read with interest, espe- cially as they undoubled!y confirm what has been said about another new era being commenced by he application of this new engine of war to iron ships:— " The Confederate ironclad ram Albemarle, re ported to have been destroyed on the 28th ult. by the United States Picket Boat No. 1, was built in the Roanoke River for the purpose of clearing the waters of North Carolina of our naval vessels, and driving off the United States troops who were located at various posts. On several occasions she has spread terror throughout that depart ment, and has caused serious annoyances to our forces, both naval and military. On the sth of May the Uaited States naval forces, consisting of the wooden gunboats Massachusetts, Sassacus, Wyabusing, Miami, Whitehead, Cares, and Com modore Hull, engaged the Albemarle and her con sorts Cotton Plant and Bombshell, and, after a ter rible conflict, the Albemarle was forced to retreat, having been seriously damaged by the fire of our gunboats, but principally by the Sassacus. " The Cotton Plant escaped, but the Bombshell, which had been captured a short time previous, was recaptured. From that time until a few weeks since the ram has been quietly receiving repairs, and has been strengthened with a view to accomplishing her object with a fatal cer• tainty. Lieutenant Wm. Cushing, of our navy, was anxious to have her come out, so that he might test the merits of the torpedo arrange ment. It is, perhaps, proper to state that the Albemarle was constructed upon the general principles of the Merrimac and Tennessee class of vessels, and was, perhaps, much stronger than either of those vessels since she was repaired of late. " She had the ordinary casemate, in which were placed four heavy gnus; she was probably shot proof against any projectiles thrown by our vessels, and the only hope of destroying her, before the advent of the torpedo affair was by running her to death—but with the torpedo boat the matter was easily accomplished, provided always she could get close enough to do the work without being observed before the guns could be trained and fired upon her. In case the little torpedo boat did its duty, and but for a shot from a shore battery, she wculd now be ready to perform a similar feat. " PICKET BOAT NO. 1. " The little vessel which has performed the deed of destroying this noted ram is a boat not unlike a ship's lan4h, and about the same dimensions. Six of them Nave been built ender the superintendence of Captaik* S. Boggs, U.S.N. Their engines, boilers, Ste;,were put in them at Schenectady, New York, and were brought down here Tia canal. " They were designed at first for picket boats exclusively, and for the purpose of relieving the seamen from the hurtful and unhealthy work of pulling boats on picket in all kinds of weather. Before they were completed, how ever, the idea of placing the torpedo attachment on them was suggested, and immediately adopted, and the wisdom of the suggestion is already proven. "No officer has laboured more faithfully to de stroy this Albemarle than has Lieut. Cushing. A few weeks since he visited New York, and selected some of the picket boats for service in Albemarle Sound, and we now have the first results of his daring and good judgment in using this new engine of naval warfare, which in a short time will revo lutionise naval fights. The true plan is being adopted. The bottom of a vessel is its most vulner able part, and by this arrangement it is reached, broken through, and the vessel must sink or be utterly destroyed." The Ontario Inquiry —Decision of the Court. The assessors of the Board of Trade gave their decision in the case_of the Ontario at Liverpool yesterday. It was as follows : The C.,urt, having carefully investigated the cira cumstances connected with the loss of the screw steamship Ontario on Hasbro' Sande, on the morn ing of the 16th tilt., has come to the conclusion that this is not one of the class of cases in which blame attaches to the master. The evidence shows that the ship was under the charge of a licensed pilot appointed by the owners, and that the master was locally unacquainted with the coast. The Court does not hold that in all cases the faot of a pilot being on board is to relieve the master from re sponsibility ; but in this case, as they see no neglect or dereliction of duty, either on the part of the master or his crew, Mr. John Brook ing cannot fairly be held amenable for the loss of his ship. The Court has, therefore, great pleasure in returning Mr. Brooking his cer tificate. The Court regrets that it cannot take so favourable a view of the conduct of the pilot. I , is of opinion that Mr Alexander Scott evinced a want of caution in the navigatio❑ of this vessel, in continuing his course at full speed after failing to make either the Dudgeon or Dowsing light vessels, instead of hauling up and proceeding slowly until he had ascertained his position. The Court cannot, however, deal with the pilot under the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, which regua later these inquiries, but will feel it their duty to report the opinion thus expressed to the Board of Trade. It is unnecessary in giving this judgment, to add anything bearing upon the collateral ques tion which has arisen out of this inquiry, relating to the services of the Yarmouth lifeboat. The mat ter will be dealt with in the report which the Court will make to the Board of Trade. The decision was read by Mr Ebffies, the legal assessor, on the part of himself and Captains Harris and Baker, nautical assessors ; and the certificate was immediately handed to Captain Brooking. Examiner. PAINFUL SCENE.—On Friday last an eitraordi nary and painful scene took place at Woodston, near Peterborough. The eldest son of Mr Thomea Powell, a highly respectable farmer of the villa g e, having died, his parents wished to have him buried in the pretty litlo church yard of the parish. As a matter of courtesy, the Rev. A Murray, Independent minister, Co whose congregation Mr Powell belonged, waited upon the Rev. J. Ellaby, the incumbent, and informed him that Mr Powell was a strict Nonconformist, and objected to the use of some portions of the Burial Servica. Subsequently, Mr F k llaby went with Mr Powell himself to the churchyard and chose a site for the grave, and no obstacle of any kind was anticipated. On Friday afternoon, when the funeral procession ap proached the churchyard, the grave was found prepared. Halting at the entrance the corpse was placed on a chair, while the Rev. A. Murray read a simple service such as Dissenters use on such occasions. He was so engaged when a messenger arrived with the intimation that the Rev. J. Ellaby was w aitin g in the church. A courous reply was returned that the services of the clergyman would not be required, and a move was made towards the grave. Mr Ellaby issued from the church , and declared in an excited manner that the corpse should not be buried there. Mr Murray ste pp ed on one side and said, •• You aro aware, S:r, that we have the privilege of silent inter ment." 0 I do not care for your privileges," the incum bent replied, " I will throw you into the Ecclesiastical Court." He then left the churchyard, bidding the sexton stand by the grave. Meanwhile the enlicted mourners were looking ou in a state of grief and perplexity which may well be imagined. At last the father stood forward and said, " If no one would fill in the grave of his child he would do so himself." He took a spade for that purpose, but the sexton wrenched it by force out of his hands. A crowd had gathered round, and hootings and cries of " Shame" were raised, but Mr Ellaby did not return, and without his authority the sexton would allow no one to touch the grave. Eventually the relatives reluctantly with drew, leaving the body unburied. On the following day (Saturday) the grave was filled in by the incumbent's order, but whether the Church Burial Service was read over it or not r not our reporter has been u nable to learn, —Naitrhe M.

A protracted inqy was held last evening by Mr W. Payne, coroner for the City of London, at the Vestry-room, Fountain-court. The inquest was held on the body of a newly-born male child, and, owing to rumours of an extra. ordinary character, excited great interest. Mr Clines, vestry clerk,attended to watch the case on behalf of the parish autho rities, and the Rev. Mr Roberton, incumbent of St. Botolph, Aldgate, the Rev. Mr Hunt, curate, and Mr Churchwar den King, C.C., were also present. The first witness railed was Walter Parkhale, who said that he was steeple-keeper and gas-lighter of the parish of St I3otolph. On Friday last, at twelve o'clock, he saw the body of the deceased child in the vault of the church of St Botolph, Aldgatc. It was wrapped up in a newspaper. Miss Hammond, the sextoness, brought him a meesage from the curate, the Rev. Mr Hunt, to come to him in the vestry-room. Wit ness accordingly went thither, and Mr Hunt told him that there was a parcel down in the vaults, and that he wanted the skeleton of a child. Ha said, "There is no other way of doing it but to boil it." Mr Hunt gave witness a shilling to buy a saucepan to boil it in. Ho was to bring the pot to Mr Hunt on Saturday evening. Witness went out and told Mr Wllliam Biggs and the sextoness. It was after that coFiersat.on :hat witness went into the vault and saw the body in the parcel. Witness took it up and put it in a shell. Witness did not Ibuy the pot, as he did not think it right. He did not see the curate after the Friday. In consequence of informa- tion given to them, the churchwardens ordered the vaults to be locked np. Mary Hammond, sextoness to thi church, said that on Wednesday last the curate came to the church, and said to witness, " Open the vault door, and let me down there." He said no more, and witness opened the vault and turned on the gas. The curate had a parcel, and he took it down into the vault and left it there. Witness thought it was a bundle of clothes. Wit. ness then locked the vault. Mr Hunt told witness not to let the steeple-keeper go away before he saw him. The steeple-keeper came out, and told witness that Mr Hunt had given him a shilling to buy a pot to boil 'the child in.—Mr William Biggs said that on Friday last he officiated at St. Botolph's Church as parish clerk. Witness was speaking to Miss Hammond, when she told him Mr Hunt had deposited a bundle of clothes in the vault. Witness thought that was a strange place for clothes, and when Parkhale came out, after speaking to the curate, witness said, in a jocular manner, " Bring out the baby from the vault." Park hale, to his sur prise, answered, "Yes, he has given me a shilling to buy a pot to boil it in." Witness went to Mr Churchwarden King, and told him what had occurred, and the vaults were con sequently locked up. On Saturday Mr Hunt-called and asked for the key, but on being told that by Mr King's orders the vaults were locked, he said, "Mr King is a fool, and a big fool." Mr David King said that he was church warden of the parish of St. Botolph. On Saturday he requested the Rev. Mr Reberton, the Rev. Mr Hunt, and Mr Clines, the vestry clerk, to meet him in the vestry room, and at three o'clock he met them there. He cautioned the Rev. Mr Hunt as to any statement he might make, and asked him for an explanation of the charge. The rev, gentleman treated the matter with great levity. He said that the body was that of a fee:us and not of a child, and that he only wanted to boil it to get the skeleton. When asked, "How and from whom did you get it ?" he declined to answer. A surgeon was then sent for, and from what transpired they sent to the coroner. Afterwards Mr Hunt stated that he wanted the child for scientific and anatomical purposes. Mr Holman, m.R.u.s., said he had examined the body, which was that of a well formed seven months' child, only very recently born. He believed the infant was alive up to the time of birth, but might have died curing birth. Judging from ap pearances he did not believe that a medical man had been present at the birth. The Rev. Mr. Hunt was examined at great length. He had been pur suing for some time anatomical studies, and in doing this he contended there was nothing inconsistent with his duties as a clergyman. He had attended a complete course of lectures by Mr Savory, the eminent lecturer on anatomy and physiology, at Bartholomew's Hospital, and that gen times entirely agreed with him as to the benefit a theolo gian would derive from those studies. Dr Thynne last Wed nesday gave him the foetus as a present. Having no convenience at his lodgings he took it to the vaults, and told Parkhale to buy a pot to warm water on 81urday for the purpose of dissection. He then remarked upon what he considered the extraor dinary conduct of Mr Churchwarden King, and when in formed by the sextoness that Mr King had ordered her to keep the vault locked he was naturally amazed, and told the sextonesa in a good-natured way to tell Mr King that he was a fool. He solemnly declared that the words " boil" and " saucepan" were never used by him. Dr. Thomas Thynne proved giving the body of the child, which was stillborn, to Mr Hunt. Dr. Hadlow and Dr. Barnes gave evidence as to Mr Hunt being devoted to medical studies. The coroner in summing up expressed an opinion that the churchwardens had done their duty in investi gating this case, as the public mind would not have been satisfied without an inquiry. The jury delivered a verdict to the following effßci.—" That the deceased child was still-born, and the jury, while admitting the right of the Rev. Mr. Hunt to study medicine, are of opinion that it would be better if he confined his studies to matters of a clerical character, to the exclusion of the study of ana tomy." Dreadful Sufferings of a Ship's Crew, On Saturday the Anchor Line steamer Caledonia arrived at the Tail of the Bank from New York. She had on board three of the crew of the brig Ayrshiro Lass, of Ardrossan, which vessel the Caledonian fe 1 in with about 7 p.m. on the 9th inst., in latitude 55 N. longitude 13 W. with a flag of 'diStress s liying: Kboat was immediately sent on board the brig from the steamer, when it was found that the Ayrshire Lass was a complete wreck and water-logged. The sur vivors of the crew of the brig were only three in number, and were very much exhausted. They were accordingly sent on board the Caledonia, and the second officer of the steamer, with a number of men, wtre left on board the brig, The Caledonia then took tho Ayrshire Lass lu tow. Mr Brown, mate of the Ayrshire Lass, states :—We loft Miramichi on the 26th September, with a cargo of deals, bound for Ardrossan, and had proceeded on our passage, all well, till the forenoon of Sunday, the 23d October, in latieude 54 30 N. latitude 11 20 W., when the vessel was struck on the starboard bow with a heavy sea, which threw her over on her beau , ends. The captain and two of the crew were below in the cabin asleep at the time, and were drowned. After the vessel had been on her beam ends for about half an hour, the mate managed to cut away the main topmast backstay, which allowed the main topmast to break away, and it carried away the foremast close to the deck. The vessel then righted. The decks were clean swept of everything ;:and all the beef and water we had on board, being on the deck, was therefore lost. The cabin was filled with water and the vessel water. logged. Next day, Monday, wo managed to hook up a small bag of biscuits from the cabin. They were quite soft, having been in the water for 28 hours. On the next Monday the biscuits were about done. Then we killed the dog, and on it we survived, with a very small portion of biscuit for other ten days. On the 9th, at two p.m. we had finished the dog, and had nothing to eat, thus having been 17 days on the wreck. At seven p.m. on the same night we were picked up by the Caledonia, Last Sunday, a barque, supposed to be a foreigner, passed us, and although they saw our signals, no attention was paid to them, Last Saturday we got the bodies of Capt, James Grant, and one of the crew, named Andrew Hudson, out of the cabin and buried them at sea. The body of the other seaman, named Lawrence Smith, was never seen." The Ayrshire Lass, as she lies at the Tail of the Bank. is a complete wreck. The bulwarks are carried away on both sides, and the foremast is clean away by the cock. The cabin furniture is all broken up. The jibboom is broken away, and all the fore chains are bent up.—Greenock Telegraph. PURSUED BY INDIANS.—The Kansas correspon dent of the New York Times gives an account of the re treat of an expedition sent a few weeks ago against the Indians, but suddenly encountered by superior numbers : "As soon as our party faced about to return, we had a lively and most exciting exhibition of their peculiar tactics. Yelling, they circled nearly around us, at a distance of from 50 to 200 yards, each warrior siding at the top cf his pony's speed, circling to the left, always firing, and falling back to reload. Ihe circle immediately near to us had about 200 warriors in it, and about 300 more reinforced them as need 'night be, while from the west hundreds of others, mounted or on foot, could be seen either hastening to the fight, or looking on as spectators. Our force consisted of about 60 men. We occupied the cuter, falling back slowly, the rear or front platoon, as the needs might be, facing about, or right or left, and by well directed volleys checking the yelling devils' furious ride and attack. Many of them must have been killed and wounded, as wo could see them fall, be put on ponies again, and carried to the rear. The scene wet; ex citing beyond description. We retreated in good order for two or three miles, when the report was circulated that am munition was growing scarce. The order to countermarch became in danger of le3ing a rout. By the strenuous exer tions of the officers the men were restrained till the main command appeared in sight, on the south side of the stream. Our difficulty was to get across. The banks were narrow and abrupt. The 'alums knew our object, and strenuously endeavoured to prevent i , . At every ravine they sought to cut us off, and when we made a stand they sot fire to the prairie, so as to smoke Ili out. One of t h e Indians made himself conspicuous by his dashing courage and dai ing horsemanship. Many of the men made especial attempts to shoot him, bu t seemin g l y he bo r e a charmed life. It made no differen ce, to all appearance, on what part the horse ho rode. The fabled Centaur could not lave been so completely identified with his animal as these Indians are with theirs. In riding the circle all of their body visible was one arm and leg where they hung on the off side. Under the neck, belly, between the legs, it seemed to make no difference whence they fired. I know that the balls or a rrows came most unpleamantly close. Riding without saddle or bridle, lariat loose and trailing on the ground, guiding the ponies by voice and limb, if one was dismounted all ho had to do was to grasp the trailing lariat, and he was _ remounted quiok,r than it takes to tell the model SPORTING INTELLIGENCE---This Day, SHREWSBURY RACES—THIS DAY.
